So Close

I am so close to having the filling chain stitch all done on Harmony's walnut lute. Just one more thread will do it.

I don't know what comes next. It might be the backstitching around the edge.

I finished stitching all the back stitch for the Mermaid Purse. Yeah!

Unfortunately, the design calls for a bunch of Au Ver a Soie silk. I went looking last night and only found one color on hand. I may have to wait to work more on this until after my road trip to Stitchville the first week of September.

I put in a teeny bit of color on the big Mermaid. I want to work on one of the animals, the butterfly or the fish. This design uses all DMC. I bought all the floss a while back.

I finished the knitting for Ophelia's work book. It took about 7 tries to get a decent little square of knitting using tapestry needles as knitting needles. The rest of the book should be easy even though it is on 40 count.

I put some spray starch on the Quaker Bag. Big improvement. It is easier to find the thread I'm looking for.
